The Christ-child, with his gifts and masked attendant, belong to t&g German antiquity. 'Frugal housewives, shaking the crumbs from the table -cloth around the roots of their fruit trees,! in order that they become more 4 fruitful, - clearly points to the . mysterious influ ence attributed by the ancient Germans to the time of tbe Twelve Nights.. .1 In Bohemia the fruit trees for the same reason are violently shaken during the time of midnight mass. In other localities a corn cake and some hot cider is offered to the largest ' apple tree, as the king otthe orchard, I "while those who take part in the cere . : mony join in singing: ' Boar good apples and pears enoug' ' , ' Bams full, bags full, sacks full ! - Hurrah ! hurrah J hurrah !" Yule-log and ; yule-candle belong to the same order, i The mistletoe was re garded by the Druids as sacred, and its - berries, as symbolic of parity, were as sociated with the rites of marriage. The game in which the mistletoe formed a I particular feature was among the most amusing of the festivities, and is still in vogue in some par Is pf England. The Christmas tree- is doubtless of "" German origin. ! They conceived of the world as a great tree whose- roots were hidden deep under the earth, but whose top flourished in Walhalla, the old Ger man paradise. This tree was first fitted ' up during the Twelve Nights, In honor . . of Bechta, goddess of spring; it was subsequently transferred to the birth day of Christ, who, as the God-man, is the "resurrection and the life." The . evergreen tree and emblem of spring time became the symbol of an eternal . spring. The burning lights were to adumbrate Him who is the Light r of the World," and the gifts to remind us, in giving His only Son for the world's redemption, He gave us the most priceless of all gifts. Such was its ori gin. Now the Christmas tree is not only to be found thro aghout Germany, but has taken root from the Alps to the TJrtl, from the Kiolen to the Appen--j'- nines, alike on the, banks of the Neva and the Po, the Mississippi and the Thames; in truth, wherever German civilization has penetrated In Englund Christmas is scarcely the shadow of its former merry self, when all classes of society indulged, in the most unrestrained joviality and merri ment. The wassail bowl, warm ale with apples floating therein, tbitt once played so conspicuous a pary at the .Christmas banquet, are now obsolete.

Christmas bells ring out tneir silvery chimes on tne crisp morning air, joyfully and. cheerfully Nor is there wanting a spicy flavor to the feasts and frolics, to say nothing' of the roast beef and plum pudding, while the boards head, decorated with rose mary or holly, is served up in . great state at the royal Christmas table. On Christmas day in Suabia, maidens inquisitive as to their prospective lovers draw a stick of wood out of a heap to see whether he will be long or short, crpoked or straight. If they wish to ascer tain which of them will nrt$ become a nrifa tliatr frtrYn a. rMTVlor&nr1 TlaA t,TlTAlT in v tvj L a blind-folded gander, and the one to whom he goes first will soon be a bride. Among many others a favorite method . N of forecasting the future is to sit upon tho floor and throw one's shoes with the foot over the shoulder, and then to predict from the position it takes what is about to transpire. One of the principal; features of the holiday in Italy is the Christmas din ner,, "which begins early and lasts late. The rich feast right royally, and the poorv who can afford meat but once a year, must keep it for the Christmas , - dinner. " In anticipation of this, it is usual for every one who has done you a service during the year to call upon you in . advance j of the day for their buona fcsla. It is a generalization of what is true of our newspaper carriers ' of the United States, hence the origin of the carriers address on" New Year's day. - . The day is observed in 'Spain very much as it is in Italy, the Christmas dinner playing a very conspicuous part.' In liussia, altnougn oc. JMicnoias is a special favorite, j and .they have the Christmas tree and the services in the churches, all" special ceremonies are re served for the Easter holidays and Epiphany. . In Lapland and Norway a cake is set out in the snow as an offering, which was probably intended, originally, to -propitiate some pagen divinity, as it dates back to the time of Thon Though New Year's is generally ob served in France rather than Christ mas, for the distribution of presents,: it is the Jesus bainbin who comes with a convoy of angels loaded with books ; and toys to fill expectant littleshoes which tiny hands placed so near the chimney. - : . . . In Sweden Yule-time is the gayest season of the year. It begins on Christ mas and continues till Epiphany, -and is given up to dancing, feasting and merry-making. No heavy work is done during that time. In the rural districts the tables are spread and kept standing, every visitor is expected to take some thing, otherwise he is believed to take away with bini1 the yule-joy. .The family leaves a light .burning all night, and should it accidentlv go out, it w believed some one in the house will surely die daring the coming year. The American Christmas is a modifi cation of the English. In large towns it is universally, kept, but . in some vil lages but few shops are closed, and only one or two of the . half-dot:en churches are open for service. Still everybody remembers it is Christmas. Eresents are made in families. Christmas carols are sung at early morn; the children go from house to house wishing each other a "Merry Christmas." Then there are the games and Christmas parties, to say , nothing of the family dinners, and probably few who call themselves fto. tians allow the day to pass without giv lug a thought to the sacred j event it commemorates..

School Journal. - Variations In a Man's Height. A contributor to the German Miliiar Wochenblatt who has been lately em ployed in musterincr and eiamining the recruits drafted this year into the Ger man army, has established, by a long series of careful measurements, not only that the height of a man varies very , considerably at different times of the day, but also that vthis variation takes place with great regularity in every individual man., The amount of this vaiiation in height is, however, not the same in all men, but depends on the size and age of each individual, a tall man losing more in height than a shorter one, and a young man more than an older one assuming that m all cases the mn are fully grown.! In ' the same man the amount , of vaiiation in height depends mainly upon the number of hours he has been standing or sitting since rising from his bed. While lying down the height of a man increases; while standing or sitting it decreases; andUherefore under normal conditions a man is taller in the morning than in the evening, while to some slight extent extremely fatiguing exercise or I work causes additional decrease of stature. The' greatest difference , in height in a day hitherto observed"" in any man is four centimeters, or a trifle more than, one and one-half inches; hile the . contributor of a paper to the Militar-Wochenblail has found, as the result of a number of careful meas urements of himself, that while e'very morning he measures immediately on ris ing exactly 172 centimeters, or five feet eight inches, his height at night varies 171 to 170 1-4 centimeters, or from five feet'seven and one-half Inches t4 five feet seven and" one-qutrter inches. The spine of a man, in fact, consists of twenty-four separate vertebra, between every two of which there is an eiastic cartilage, and these cartilaginous di visions l become compressed by i the weight pressing upon them when a man 13 standing or sitting. .- All Beady to Fightj General Roberts, of Afghanistan fame, was sent in August last to Ger many -by his government to attend the annual maneuvers of the -Hanover and Schleswig Holstein army corps. The Prussian system and its perfection of organization, in his opinion, constitutes the most finished and easily worked fighting machine the world has known. To such perfection has Its organization been brought, he says, that in one night any army corps can be mobilized. He was told that in the bureau of the gen eral staff letters were ready stamped and addressed to every department and commanding' officer of the several army corps, only requiring the dates to be filled ,in for dispatch' in r ten min utes. He was assured that all the horses belonging to private people throughout the country were .marked off for the regiments and batteries to which thev would be attached in war time, and also the hour and the train by which each norse would patched to its destination. j be dii- : A druggist In New TtlcTimond, OMo, Mr. E.

E. Nagle favors the Planters' Journal with what he personally knows concerning the burial places of the ec centric old preacher. February 4, 1834; was one of the most disagreeable of wintry days ever ex perienced in Washington, "D. C. ' The snow, mixed with rain, ' fell rapidly in clouds of sleet, and, being driven by a cutting, piercing northea&t wind, made the weather terribly uncomfortable to those who were exposed to its fury. Be sides this, the roads were muddy and almost impassable. Notwithstanding this condition a large funeral cortege, . composed of many of the most prominent citizens of the republic and city of Washington, attended the remains of Lorenzo Dow to their burial-place in Holmeads ceme tery, at the intersection of Twentieth street and Boundary avenue. At that time, and for many ' years afterward, that was the fashionable, and, in fact, the only prominent burying ground in the capital city. A sandstone slab was laid on the grave, and for many years it was usual for,- those who venerated the dead man's, memory to make pilgrim ages to his grave.- At last, Holmeads cemetery fell into disuse, and was abandoned. At present if is in a con dition of neglect, dilapidation, and decay that makers it one of .the ugliest and most hideous blots that disgrace the boasted civilization of the most beautiful city on this continent. - Among the many admirers and old time friends cf the eccentric preacher was Mr. Corcoran, the famous banker and philanthropist After' he -and his compeers had established Oak Hills cemetery: in Georgetown,1 D. 0., as a popular and wonderfully beautifully city of the dead, he donated a pretty and prominent site for the! final deposi? tory of the famous preacher; and so after a silent rest off forty years the ashes and slab were removed and placed in their present position oh the 17Ui of April, 1874. , I To find the location of the grave you turn to the right, after passing through the porter's lodge, and then follow vt he pathway " southward along the fence, from which line many ' romantic views are seen, and passing thef lowly head stone that marks the almost obscured and neglected grave ' j of Salmon P. Chase, the imposing; monuments of Stanton and others of ; note in the history of the republic. At the turn by the grand gate, where the road curves to the westward, the pathway goes oh almost straight southward, and after passing over the steps of the sec ond terrace you go about ten feet east ward, where you will find, the stone slab which marks the grave. It rests at an angle of forty degrees on the slope of the terrace fronting, south, and is in a good condition of preservation.

A Pictish Tower. Not far from Leaven wick is the is land of Mousa, celebrated'ior containing the most perfect known specimen of a Pictish tower. -The island was formerly peopled but is now uninhabited except by tkiew native - sheep, taken1 over for grazing purposes ; but in the eyes of antiquaries the littlA islet, only about a mile in'length, is of national import ance, on account of the ancient burgh erected thereon. The tower is circular in form, and fifty feet in diameter, and was formerly, no doubt, shaped like a dice box ivider on top and botton than in the middle. Less than fifty feet in height ' is " now standing. The stones are laid together without cement, but fitted together with skill; which has well enabled the edifice to resist the ravages of time. The tower consists or two concentric walls, each five feet thick, with about the same1 space "be tween them. This space was all the barrack -joom allowed the hardy war riors of old, the inner circle evidently forming the courtyard. Between the two walls of the tower winds a cork screw staircase, communicating on its way up with a series of small chambers, placed one above the other and venti lated from the interior courtyard by narrow1 slits. An interesting legend hatgs around the venerable castle of Mousa. Aboiit the year 1320, by the rights of Udah succession, Harold and Erlend were joint earls of the- OrKndy and Lhetlanqs. The widowed mother of Harold, the dame., Marga retta, a woman of great beauty, after many adventures, attracted the notice of an honorable suitorHarold's part ner, ;Erland but Harold from some caUi-e was adverse to his mother's nup-" tials, so the pair fled together to Mousa. Harold pursuedthem with all fury, und to quote the old chronicler: 'Anon fled the Dame Margaretta and Erlend into the fori, within the dark receEses of which they nstled like two pigeons in a dovecote." The ''burghM was beset with troops, but so impregnable was the construc tion in those ante-unpowdef days, that the besiegers could not reduce them to submission except by cutting off the supplies of food. This he did, and awaited the result of a tedious siege. But Harold h&d powerful foes to contend with elsewhere, and finally listened to the advice of others, who persuaded him that he had better retain Erlend's friendship than provoke his enmity. So, as Torfceus goes on to say, "a conciliation took place, and then with great joy returned the parties to their several pursuit s, well satisfied with each other." ' You cross, cruel husband!" "you have b-b-broken sobbed, h-h-heart l" "If, that's the case.' the c. c. h . you will not need the hat that you were talking about ye: day."

FLORIDA The friends of the Davenport (Iowa) Academy of Sciences claim that that 1 institution possesses the" only evidence that' has yet been discovered that the caysterions mound builders had a writ ten language.! It has in its museum, two inscribed tablets which were found in some of the mounds, and which have attracted attention from American and European archaeologists.' Mr. Prett, late president of he academy, believes that the evidence of the genuineness of the inscriptions is sufficient, but the fact must be regarded as still very much in question. 1 i ' v I Jj; CURED. - NEURALGIA. f Pt.
